Cult motorcycle brand Jawa will officially be resurrected in India on November 15, 2018.

If you didn’t already know, Jawa is being brought back to life by Classic Legends, a subsidiary of Mahindra. Jawa’s new bike is tailor made for the Indian market and therefore it will not share anything with Jawa bikes which are sold globally.

Jawa has also revealed the engine which will power its upcoming motorcycle. It is 293 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder unit that produces 27 bhp of power and 28 Nm of torque. This engine is not a re-tuned version of the Mahindra Mojo’s engine.

If you look closely (image below), this engine with its faux cooling fins and a twin-exhaust layout, is designed to look like classic Jawa engines. The company also claims to have worked hard to resemble the original Jawa’s exhaust note with this engine.

Other than the engine specs, little else is known about the upcoming Jawa bike. However, it is certain to belong to the modern-classic category and will go head-on against the Royal Enfields.
